People don't know god is important so they don't make a sign for them and I'm sad bc of that and it makes me sad bc what if you want to talkto someone about god but you can't bc there's no sign (btw it's 12:01 in the morning so yeah).

hey! just wanted to say that you can sign god with a half of a praying hand (your dominate hand flat near your chin) and bring it up and forward to sign god. if you want to sign jesus as well, you touch the center of your palm on each hand with the other hand. hope this helps!

This may seem like the case if you’ve never experienced it before, but there’s nothing you can’t talk about in sign language. Sign language is a conceptual language, so if there isn’t a specific sign for something, over time people will either create a new sign or you can make one up that you use with your specific community. You may also fingerspell if you cannot figure out how to properly sign something.

Also, if you cannot find a sign you want on this app, you can surf the internet as well. There are many different dialects and cultures as well as many different signs for the same thing, so don’t assume there isn’t a sign for something if you weren’t able to find it from a singular source. Always cast a wider net if you want the bigger picture!

Learning a few ASL signs used in Christian worship can help share faith in a clear and meaningful way. • God – An open hand moves upward from the forehead. The motion points upward, symbolizing God above us. • Jesus – The middle finger touches the center of each palm. This represents the nail wounds from the crucifixion. • Pray – Hands together near the chin in a prayer position, representing speaking to God. • Church – Fingers interlock, symbolizing believers gathered together as one body. • Bible – Hands open like a book, representing the Scriptures being read and shared. • Holy Spirit – A hand moves outward from the mouth like breath or wind, reflecting how Scripture often describes the Spirit. These signs are simple, meaningful, and a beautiful way to express faith through American Sign Language.

You can fingerspell pretty easy since its only 3 letters! ❤️

Important notice - ABC: Spelling Videos

We’ve received several reports from learners who noticed that the letter O can look like an E in some videos, like in the word “SOUP” in ABC 3, Lesson 2. Miss Lesli, is actually spelling S-O-U-P correctly. However, we completely understand why it can look like S-E-U-P, especially if you are still learning the differences between these handshapes. The confusion comes from the way the letter O is being presented in the video. When Miss Lesli forms the O, her fingertips are facing toward the camera, which makes the circular shape of the O difficult to see from the viewer's perspective. The O and E can look quite similar from this angle, particularly to someone who is still becoming familiar with ASL. There is an important difference: when forming the O, the fingertips come together with the thumb to create a complete closed circle. With the E, the fingertips curl down but do not form that same fully closed circle against the thumb. Unfortunately, the current camera angle makes this distinction much harder to see than it should be. We've actually received similar feedback from learners, so we agree that this is something we need to improve (Same with spelling videos where letters M & N are used). We will be updating these videos and adjusting how the signs are presented so that the handshapes and spelling are much clearer for new learners. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and helping us improve Intersign!

I'm new here 🙇❤️💕

Ok lemme. Assume everyone here is not really deaf right 😩😩. I really got motivated to learning ASL because I'm already having hearing issues and I already feel isolated from people, hope I get to meet nice people by learning ASL, thank you.
